Talking yes

All you guys gotta do is call your friendly satellite recon office and order up some images.... or know somebody that works at a friendly govt agency You might be surprised what kind of rivet detail you can get from a good sat image

A few pages back I guessed IO-233 powered...Prompted by another thread I was on Larry Vetterman's website earlier and noticed that mid-2011 he announced he had developed an exhaust system for that engine.

I could be adding 2 and 2 and making 5 of course...

I think it just arrived at SNF, but it apparently has a built-in device that kills all electronic devices within 50 miles....

Seriously, has anyone heard anything?

Maybe so, but a pretty elaborate joke when you consider they registered it with the FAA!

If only there was a comma between the 1 and the 4.

Then you could consider it as a date-------first day of the fourth month.

Thats the only part that doesn't really fit well into an April Fools joke.

So, like the rest of you, I'm dying to know what's going on. Many have offered great suggestions and wishes, all of them really exciting. So come on Vans, time to spill the beans You're killing us!
